With a career spanning over seven decades, Chase-Riboud's innovation in sculptural technique and materiality is characterised by the interplay between folds of cast bronze or aluminium and coils of wool and silk which are knotted, braided, looped, and woven. Combining materials with different qualities such as hard and soft, light against heavy, and tactile versus rigid, the artist's monumental sculptures explore themes of memory, monuments and power.The catalogue also features an illustrated chronology as well as a selection of the artist's own poetry and writing.
